Chapter Eight
“No.” Reika said firmly.
Soi Fong looked around ready to rip her hair out. Renji smirked from his spot in the corner. “What do you mean no?” The angry woman growled out between clenched teeth.
“I mean no…as in No.” Reika repeated as she crossed her arms. She was already sitting cross legged on the ground with her face turn up and away from the woman standing a few feet in front of her. “You would think a captain would know what the word ‘no’ meant. I suppose they are promoting anyone these days.”
“Why you little…” Renji sprung into action and stopped Soi from beheading Reika again. He sighed as the captain finally calmed down. He crouched down in front of Reika.
“C’mon Reika-chan. Why wont you just listen to Captain Fong.” Reika finally looked at the male before her and whispered something he almost didn’t hear. “Really?” Reika nodded and pouted cutely.
Renji stood and glanced back at the female captain. Soi propped her hands on her hips and looked at him expectantly. “Well!” She yelled at the red headed Lieutenant.
“She says she wants you to say sorry.” Soi’s jaw dropped as Renji sheepishly scratched the back of his head. “Said she’ll listen to whatever you say if you apologize for calling her a ‘defiant, unruly, lawless soul’. Though she still claims they all mean the same thing to her.” Soi shot her wide eyes from the male to the sitting female.
“Never!” She hissed and Reika hmphed and stood.
“Fine!” The scarred woman turned on heel to leave. Soi felt her blood boil and she threw herself at the girl. Renji didn’t catch on fast enough and he couldn’t stop her. Reika felt the woman come at her but only with enough time to turn and catch the woman. Reikas face suddenly changed from a pouting teenage. Her eyes dulled and became emotionless.
Soi felt a shiver go down her at the looked the woman below her was giving her. With a swift motion Reika had reversed their positions. With a low growl at the woman beneath her, she stood up to leave again. Soi was not happy with the dismissal and stood to attack again. This time Reika caught her by the shoulder and threw her across the room. Soi skidded to a stop crouched down on her feet.
Renji stared in shock at the two woman. Reika eyed the female captain from the other side of the room. “For a captain you sure have a short temper.” She said dully, though the normal teasing note in her tone was long gone. She turned to leave again but this time instead of normally walking out of the room, she took a step and disappeared from their sight. Soi stood straight again and glanced at Renji before she too left the room. The red head sighed as he took off, to find the Reika, and make sure everything was okay.
Reika kicked the dirt under her feet in annoyance. She was back to wearing her normal clothing. Kenpachi had somehow gotten boxes upon boxes of mostly black tank tops, tight black pants and to her surprise a few long -knee length- black short sleeve jackets for her to wear over it all. She didn’t ask where he got them from but thanked him. She was just happy she didn’t have to wear that ugly uniform again.
Reika grumbled in anger when she thought about the stupid female captain. It’s not like Reika wanted to be a shinigami. They were forcing her too. ‘Death or this crap. Great choices.’ She thought with a frown. She found a nice spot and jogged over to it. Without much effort she fell onto her back in the soft grass. She stared at the sky for a few moments before turning onto her stomach.
She used her arms as a pillow and decided that it was a good time for a nap. The sun was beating down on her, keeping her warm and there was a light breeze that stopped her from getting too hot. She was happily soaking up the rays, trying to forget her anger from earlier. She only had about ten minutes of peace before a foot lightly kicked her leg.
“Oy!”
Reika groaned. “No! You go away!” She mumbled not wanting to deal with that particular male.
“Ain’t you suppose to be in training?” Ikkaku asked lightly kicking her leg again. Reika only growled and shot a glare back at the man kicking her. “That bad?” He asked with a laugh. “Ya got Renji there doncha?” He asked with a tilt of his shiny head.
Reika buried her face back into her arms and sighed. “It’s that stuck up captain that’s pissing me off!” She rolled onto her back and let her arms lay stretched out away from her body. “She needs someone to pound her into a hard surface if you ask me.” The girl mumbled with a frown on her face.
Ikkaku let out a loud laugh thinking that the girl was probably right. At that point Renji came jogging up to the two. “That aint no way to talk about a captain, Reika-chan.”
The girl looked at him oddly, like she had any reason to be respectful to a captain. The only two she really came into contact with were the brute and the bitch. Neither really deserved her to curb her behavior. “Why don’t you do it?” She asked the red head with a smirk. “I’ll skip training tomorrow, you seduce her and help her relieve some stress.” She said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
Renji went bright red almost matching his hair. “Ugh, Reika-chan you have a dirty mouth.” Ikkaku chuckled at that and leaned on his red headed friends shoulder.
“The Lieutenant is always saying her ‘mother’ has a potty mouth.” He dodged the rock Reika chucked at his head. “Now, now, Reika shouldn’t you set a better example for your little girl.” Another stone whizzed by his head.
Reika let her arm fall over her eyes. “You’re just mad that she kicked your ass for hurting me.” She said dryly. Honestly, Reika had come to like the little pink haired girl. She just didn’t know how she felt about the girl running around calling her mommy. She also didn’t know how to feel about the fact that Kenpachi seemed to let her. Ikkaku growled at the mention of his butt being kicked. Renji only chuckled at his friend.
“Well, tomorrow just try doing what Captain Fong says, ‘kay Reika-chan?” She peeked out from under her arm at Renji. He gave her a pleading look before she covered her eyes again.
“Fine! But if she attacks me again I wont be accountable for how I react.” She stated seriously causing both males to look at her oddly.
‘There’s no way she could beat a captain…’ They both thought before glancing at each other. ‘Could she?’
Reika wrapped the white bandage around her arm. You could see the blood seeping through but she kept on wrapping. She heard footsteps and tried to quickly hide any evidence. Just in time she turned holding her bandaged arm behind her back when the bathroom door flew open.
“Hello!” She said way to cheerfully and Kenpachi stared at her. He was trying to figure out what she was up too and she knew he was. “Well, I’m hungry what about you!” She tried to sneak by him but his eye caught the white and red around her arm. He grabbed it and hoisted it in the air. Reika hissed in pain as he pulled her high enough where her feet hardly touched the ground.
“What’s this?” He asked staring at the blood soaked gauze.
Reika pouted. “None of your business…” She replied, but it seemed like it was the wrong answer. Because his face darkened and his voice took on an angry tone.
“I wont ask again…” He rumbled loudly.
Reika gulped, she didn’t think she liked that voice. She bit her lip and refused to answer. Stubbornness is a curse and would surely be her downfall one day.
“Fine, fuck this.” He said simply, dropping her and leaving his own home. Reika sunk to the ground, still in the bathrooms doorway. It wasn’t her fault she didn’t want to tell him how she had gotten the injury. She was already embarrassed enough that she had to ask Ikkaku for help with something in the first place. Plus who knew how Kenpachi would react if he knew that Ikkaku had injured her again. True, she had asked for the training (and it had taken a handful of pouts and a bucket of whines) but the brute seemed to become more insane when it concerned his scarred housemate.
It wasn’t for another hour until she moved, and it was only because she heard someone come into the home. She rushed into the main room, she decided she’d give a half reason for the injured arm and see how the pointy haired male reacted. But she came to a halt when she only saw Ikkaku looking back at her.
“Ah, let’s go. Show me what is yours.” He said in his normally rude sounding voice. Reika tilted her head in confusion and Ikkaku frowned. “I ain’t got all day! Where are your things so I can move ‘em to your new place.” Reikas eyes widened as she took in what he said. She didn’t get a chance to say anything before someone answered for her.
“Those.” Kenpachi stated pointing to the four boxes on the floor in the room. Reika bit her lip and kept her eyes on the floor as Kenpachi passed her. “Keep your business out of my house.” He said harshly and she nodded.
“Of course, Captain Zaraki.” Kenpachi stopped for a second before he disappeared into his bedroom. Ikkaku came back for the last box and looked over at Reika.
The woman stood in the same spot she had been in when he had gotten there. He was confused as to what was going on. When his captain had come and told him to move the females things he was more than shocked. But what had shocked him even more was that Reika didn’t seem to know she would be moving. It was more like his captain was kicking the female out. “Reika, you ready?”
Her head shot up and she locked eyes with the bald man. She forced a smirk onto her face and nodded. “Lead the way.” She said, trying her best not to sound too distressed. ‘Stupid girl…’ She thought as she followed the man out of the place she was no longer welcome in. As they walked down rows of homes Ikkaku glanced to the girl walking beside him. He hadn’t known her long enough to really tell if something was off but he couldn’t help but think there was. Her eyes seemed hard as she stared out in front of them. Her lips were set in a straight line, not tilted into the smirk he was use to seeing on her face. Even the way she held herself was stiffer than usually. Her laid back attitude was gone, replaced with a stone replica.
When the two reached the decent size apartment not far from the 11th divisions dorms he turned to her. “You alright here now Reika?” He asked, ready for her to give him a smart assed remark.
Reika turned to him with a small, forced smile, that didn’t even attempt to reach her eyes. He could tell if was only for business purposes. “Thank you for your help. I’ll be able to take care of everything else.” She turned her back to the man and walked away. Ikkaku took a few more glances at the woman before he let her be in her new apartment. Once the male was gone, Reikas eyes finally softened and she looked around the empty space.
“I suppose that’s how it goes…” She said to nobody. “He can’t have another woman there if I’m always around bothering him.” She reasoned with a frown.
The next morning Renji immediately noticed something wrong but before he could ask her Soi came waltzing in. “Get ready, we are testing your sword play today.” The female captain readied herself for the back talk she had always gotten.
“Ready when you are Captain.” The two sets of eyes shot back to her and Reika tilted her head in confusion. Soi eyed her warily before drawing her sword. Reika copied the action and put herself in a starters stance. And Soi attacked, Renji watched with confused eyes as the two woman battled. Reikas eyes glazed over as she listened to the two sword clang every time they hit each other.
Reika sat on the floor in the middle of her empty room. Her eyes focusing on the floor in front of her. She understood now, she was foolish before to think she was any different, to think she might actually belong there. She was being forced to become a shinigami - which she dreaded. She was thrown out of the only place she had felt comfortable in a long time - which she was stupid for believe she was wanted. She finally lifted her head, her green eyes as hard as stone and completely emotionless.
She understood it now, she had lost her original mind set when the brute had throw her over his shoulder - efficiently throwing her world into a disaster. She had forgotten how she was suppose to act, she had forgotten what she had become. She remembered now, remembered that cold dark place she had been for three years. That place she had ignorantly thought she had escaped. She was a fool to think she actually belonged, completely idiotic to believe she had people who cared about her again.
She laid back on to the cold hardwood floor of her empty room. “Jackass…” She muttered as she closed her eyes.
Reika stared back into the eyes of the captain who had her sword to the scarred womans throat. ‘No fear, no anxiety, no emotions at all in her eyes.’ Soi thought with a frown. The captain removed her sword from the other throat and before she had even completely back off Reika was back into the attack. Soi allowed it to continue but she was being pushed back, by Reikas force.
The captain actually stumbled as she was forced backwards by the others blows. Renji caught a glint in the womans green eyes, then saw her mouth move silently saying something. His guard shot up when he felt her spiritual energy spike and he flashed over and grabbed Sois arm pulling her away from the other.
The female captains eyes widened, along with Renjis, as they looked at Reikas sword. Before they could comprehend the shape and size the sharp object shrunk back to its original state. Cold eyes stared at the two as Reika held a deadly smirk on her face. “Is that all for today Captain Fong?” The special ops female narrowed her eyes but nodded anyway. Reika lightly bowed her head as she sheathed her sword and left the room.
“What…the hell was that?” Renji asked causing Soi to frown further.
Kenpachi watched as Reika left the training building. He crossed his arms over his chest while his mind went into deep thought. ‘Who is that…’ He wondered as he watched her ready to turn the corner. Before she disappeared around it her eyes caught his, the same smirk from earlier coming to her lips. Cold, deadly, and thirsting for blood.
The 11th division captain felt a shiver of excitement run down his spine but he didn’t like it. It wasn’t the excitement he normally got when he caught sight of Reika. It wasn’t that feeling of wanting to kiss her senseless and have her squirming beneath him. It was the shiver he got when he had found a valuable opponent to slice down. The excitement he got when he was about to kill someone.
